Lawyers have always known about this kind of stuff. Blows my mind that business owners are negotiating contracts like "I know what all these words mean, why would I need a lawyer to review this?".
Lawyers can be an expensive rubber stamp on a deal that is absolutely not in your interest or be a chaos agent that makes you impossible to do business with. They can also make executing complex deals very simple (for you) or ward off sophisticated scammers. At least in my experience, it can be very hard to know which is which before it's too late.
I'd still suggest a lawyer for sure, but I wish I had counsel I liked.
Still was downtown rates but I got a lot of attention from the actual lawyer. And if things ever got real heavy they were my in-road to up-scale.
Despite this, throwing up your hands and saying "I don't know how to find a good helmet, I don't want to waste my money on a bad one, I'm just gonna ride my motorcycle without one" is ill advised.
